Summary: ie8 does not navigate to web pages or obey home page setting Product: Wine Version: 1.3.2 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: dank@kegel.com
(From http://code.google.com/p/winezeug/issues/detail?id=159 )
"winetricks ie8" succeeds, but the resulting browser doesn't seem to work.
There are workarounds if you just care about the contents of the browser (e.g. you can use ie6's main window, and ie8's guts), but I don't know of a workaround for getting ie8's main window to work.
This has probably never worked, but I'm marking 1.3.2 since that's when I first tried it.

--- Comment #1 from Dan Kegel dank@kegel.com 2011-02-24 08:44:28 CST --- As noted in comment 5 of that winezeug bug, adding the registry key
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main] "TabProcGrowth"=dword:00000000
gets the browser past the initial 'Connecting...' hang.

In fact, I used the resulting ie8 to mark this bug fixed.

Works in wine-1.6rc4 when installed by recent winetricks.
That's because winetricks works around this bug.
if w_workaround_wine_bug 25648 "Setting TabProcGrowth=0 to avoid hang" then cat > "$W_TMP"/set-tabprocgrowth.reg <<_EOF_ REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main] "TabProcGrowth"=dword:00000000
_EOF_ w_try_regedit "$W_TMP_WIN"\set-tabprocgrowth.reg fi
Still present in wine-1.6-rc4-122-g104adb7.
Registry entry in comment 1 is the workaround.

--- Comment #10 from Ken Sharp imwellcushtymelike@gmail.com --- Still present in wine-1.7.16-133-gd8ca8c2.
Why should this registry key make all the difference? Does it need to be available in Wine? Should the installer be adding it? Or is it working around a broken/missing DLL?

While looking at something else, I was looking at a win xp install (no service packs), the registry key isn't there.
So it's after ie6, at least. Not sure if the installer makes it on windows, or where it comes from though, didn't look.
